Whenever individuals think about the word “cheating”, they immediately assume that the person is sex with some one that isn’t their partner. In reality, lots of people assume that polyamory is simply a name that is nice cheating. This mightn’t be further through the truth.
Polyamory is, simply speaking, consensual, ethical, and accountable non-monogamy. This goes straight up against the idea of cheating. Cheating is non-consensual, for the reason that the individual being cheated on did not consent to non-monogamy, and it is not able to make informed choices about their intimate and psychological health. Cheating just isn’t ethical; in the end, a fantastic cultures that are many belief systems ponder over it the only for the biggest betrayals it is possible to commit. And cheating is almost certainly perhaps not a accountable thing to do.
I’d get as far as to state that cheating is worse in a monogamous one. You have an opportunity to be open in multiple ways, and the option to discuss and renegotiate the relationships, and yet you choose to do something outside of those options, something you agreed not to do while it is still a horrible thing to do in a monogamous relationship, to cheat in polyamory is somewhat bizarre.
